Origins
The Singapura breed traces its origins to Singapore, known as the “Lion City”. These cats were found roaming the streets of Singapore and were later developed into a recognized breed in the US in the 1970s. The breed’s name, “Singapura”, is the Malay word for Singapore, and they’re often referred to as the “Singaporean Drain Cat” due to their origins.

How can I take good care of my Singapura?
Nutrition
It’s essential to provide a balanced diet to keep the Singapura healthy. Choose high-quality cat food appropriate for their age, size, and activity level. Fresh water should always be available.
Grooming
A weekly brushing to remove loose hair and distribute natural oils is usually sufficient.
Recommended Grooming Tips
Use a soft-bristle brush for their delicate coat.
Regularly check their ears and eyes for any signs of dirt or infection.
Trim their nails as needed, typically every couple of weeks.
Exercise
Singapuras are agile and love climbing. Offer them interactive toys, and ensure they have vertical spaces to explore. While they’re content indoors, they appreciate occasional supervised outdoor time.
Training
While they are independent-minded, Singapuras are intelligent and can pick up commands or tricks quickly. Use positive reinforcement techniques to train them.
Most Asked Singapura Questions
They are generally friendly and curious, so they often warm up to strangers quickly, especially if the introduction is done in a calm environment.
While Singapuras can be talkative, their voices are soft and sweet, making their vocalisations pleasant to the ear.
